The world is filled with wondruous things
I just got a call from sp0ink, so I'm really happy now. Hearing a friend's real voice is so good after all this while. Now I just need to talk to someone I haven't talked to for a few months.
Judo chalet: Crazy. Can you imagine overnight cycling from East Coast Park to Changi Village, 32km+ in all? You cannot imagine the butt/back/neck/leg aches we all got. But somehow, even with only $0, 2 hours of dirty sleep, and work the next day, it was in it's own way a lovely experience.
Things I don't want to/won't forget
Cycling in a whole big group, actual RaJu bonding
Cycling with Tianfei, leaving the rest behind
Hearing the roar of planes as I speed
Trying to overtake the planes
Early AM Nasi Lemak
$5 overnight bikes
Raffles Judo couples
Waving to the few passing cars
Waiting for people who never come
The feeling of wind in hair and sand in sandals
Cycling in the middle of the road in the middle of the night
It really was an experience of the kind you feel like you entered another world and got. I <3 RaJu.
There's something about work these days, that makes me feel happy and puts a bounce in my step. I still remember how I used to be so hesitant about calling for my schedule, or scared that I would lose my job after my long absence, but I had no qualms today telling my supervisor I needed another week's break. I'm still worried about how to tell her when I need to quit, but she has started laughing in our conversations, and I'm no longer envious of the people who could make her laugh.
I'm starting to get closer to everyone there, that I wish I could work more, and that I'm starting to dread not being able to cope with work and school. And now that the people who joined at the same time as I did are starting to leave, my departure seems to loom near too.
I've learned so much just being there, waitress-ing is surprisingly interesting. When all is boring, you get to listen to little snips of their conversation and you find out that all kinds of people live in the world. From the couple talking about their latest plastic surgery adventures, to the colleague talking about an idiot cheating man to her co-workers. I used to think that these were the stuff of television dramas, but I've found out that there are real life people who are like this. Real life people coming to our little cafe restaurant.
I'm still painfully conscious of the fact that I tower over all the other girls who work there, and I still freak out every time customers call my by name. The nametag is more bane than boon. I still forget the small things sometimes, like water and the miscellaneous things customers request.
But despite everything, I thank God that He put me in Suntec instead of Vivo, because it just wouldn't be the same.
Christmas is coming, the season is nearing here already. Presents for everyone!
